kcindric··on Anonymous Release 10TB Leaked Data Exposing Kremlin Assets, Russian Businesses
oufff, okay, this puts the reliability of the article much lower now.

kcindric··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (July 2023)
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE | WORLDWIDE

Location: Europe, Croatia

Technologies: C#/.NET, SQL (MSSQL, PostgreSQL, PostGIS), Azure (AAD, DevOps, Identity management, Functions, etc. + general Azure subscription administration), Powershell, bash, Docker, Active Directory, Python (web scraping), some frontend experience (Angular, Blazor)

Résumé/CV: Available upon request. For a slightly-outdated overview, and if you don't mind LinkedIn, please see https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristijan-cindri%C4%87-622361172...

Email: my HN handle [at] gmail.com

Experience: ~4 years

About me: I am actively seeking a B2B-based full-time position, traditional full-time employment or part-time/freelance work. With 4 years of experience primarily as a .NET developer I worked in various domains building small and large scale solutions. In my free time, I enjoy learning and experimenting with new technologies and working on personal hobby projects, which, to be honest, often end up unfinished in the graveyard. That's something I really need to work on and finish some stuff ;)

I am not afraid of learning new things, in fact, I find it highly interesting, and it's one of the reasons I pivoted from my previous profession (Biology/Molecular Biology) into a development role. While I value my personal time, when I'm "on-call," I am fully dedicated. Transparency and direct communication are important to me, as are healthy team dynamics, and I strive to uphold these values.

If you have a challenging/fun project that requires a dedicated C#/.NET developer who can work remotely, please feel free to reach out.

Any feedback that is not job-offer related would also be very much appreciated!

kcindric··on Remind HN: Unplug, take a break and go outside
Thinking of getting a dog and this is one of my reasons why I want to do that.

I started doing 30min walks before and after my workdo(wfh, no kids) and it’s helping my mental health a lot.

kcindric··on Heroes of Might and Magic III was released on this day 24 years ago
Does anyone still play this game? Did it stand for the test of time?
kcindric··on Ask HN: What does your WFH day/routine look like?
This looks interesting, thanks!
kcindric··on Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information
I'm looking into buying a iPad with a pencil for better organizing my work and personal notes with added searchability. The only thing I'm afraid off, as I have ADHD and as a result trouble learning/retaining information, is that the iPad + pencil won't have the same effect as pen and paper. Anyone made the switch from paper to iPad and can't share their experience?
kcindric··on New Zealand's plan to prepare for inevitable climate change impacts
Earth and its systems are too complex and left with too much unknown variables to be confident in messing with them without the danger of creating a feedback loop that makes the matter worse.

Take for example invasive species of plants and animals -- some of them were deliberately spread to non-native habitats in hope to regulate X but are now wrecking havoc in local ecosystems and pushing out native species.

kcindric··on You can't afford to be an artist and/or author, let alone be respected

kcindric··on Reasons to tour by bicycle
Thanks for sharing this! I'm really interested in getting a recumbent because of my back injury (I talk about this in this thread) and I think I'll start exploring all the options. The only two things that are holding me back are a) these types of bikes are more expensive than regular ones, multiple times b) embracing that I can't probably ride a regular bike anymore, it's a mental thing, and it's a mix of grief and fear how will people perceive me.
kcindric··on Reasons to tour by bicycle
I heard riding up-hill is more challenging but it's still better than not riding at all. I'll probably have to ride 300-400 km to a more bike-centric place to find a shop that sells recumbents but there's no other option. These types of bikes are expensive though.
kcindric··on Reasons to tour by bicycle
Thanks for the encouragement! Yeah, I didn't bother about the lycra warrior culture when I was touring, just bringing so much competition and rigidness in such a (to me) anxiety free environment was off-putting to me.

My friend, who worked in a bike shop, told me that recumbents require a knowledgeable mechanic but if I find one he/she will be more than happy to work on such a different build.

kcindric··on Reasons to tour by bicycle
I commuted everyday using my bicycle and did a few tours in my 20s here in Europe. Those were the best travel experiences I had in my life, especially when my partner joined me on one of my tours. But few months into my 30s I hurt my back (two herniated discs) and although I'm mostly fine now I can't ride a bicycle for longer periods. This depresses me quite a bit. I miss the freedom, views and the community.

I started to think about buying a recumbent bike for touring but there's no one around me who owns or sells one to try it.

kcindric··on I've used all the notebooks
I really like using notebooks and writing my thoughts, helps with ADHD and with grounding when I'm in full panic mode. I feel I think more clearly and structured when my thinking is paired with writing.

I also _love_ good quality notebooks but I feel guilty when using them for everyday scribbles like meeting notes. It feels like sacrilege.

kcindric··on Things I sort of believe about making music
Great post! Nowadays I struggle a lot with creating music. I mostly WFH and most of my job equipment (laptop + monitor) and my music equipment (guitars, synths, pedals etc.) with my music recording equipment (laptop + monitor) is in the same room. I don't have the luxury of another hobby only room so I mostly finish my day job and never return into my office until the next work day starts.

Also there's the recording medium problem, which is the same as my work medium - a laptop. I would love to hear some suggestions how to turn this around.

kcindric··on Things I sort of believe about making music
Are you trying to say that working in a different OS is an enough context switch for you? I also produced a lot of music but when I switched careers and became a developer a struggle to create using a laptop and a DAW.
kcindric··on Ask HN: How do you cope with possible nuclear threat?
This seems insightful, thank you.
kcindric··on Ask HN: How do you cope with possible nuclear threat?
Could you please share links to fallout maps and explain your signal. Thanks.
kcindric··on Drastic DS Emulator Pulled from Google Play Store
Yes. As I grow older I'm more drawn to Nintendo ecosystem than any other due to games that are so much packed with fun and pretty immediate in their delivery.
kcindric··on Ask HN: What real world problem does cryptocurrency solve?
Crypto has its own charges, i.e. Eth GAS Fees[0]

kcindric··on Ask HN: What are your hobbies?
What are some you favorite games?
kcindric··on Ask HN: What are your hobbies?
I'm not powersnail but I'm the OP - I tried going the DAWless route and bought myself a synth and a drum machine/sequencer Digitakt. Generally I enjoyed the process but I still feel it's too much of a programming approach to creating music which made me feel fatigued too fast (after a workday). I'm genuinely happy playing an 'analaog' instrument like a guitar without an aim to creating something, just fiddling around.
kcindric··on Ask HN: What are your hobbies?
What are your favorite Nintendo consoles and games? I'm thinking of buying a Switch for the exclusives but I'm wondering if Steam Deck will provide good enough emulation for the Switch.
kcindric··on Ask HN: What are your hobbies?
That was a great read, thanks! In my town we have a volunteer bike repair shop that is only open on Thursday afternoons and it's one of the mosz wholesome places out there.
kcindric··on Off the Grid
That sounds like a reasonable amount of money. Hell, you can't even buy a modest flat for that kind of money in most of EU major cities. Do you have reading recommendations for anyone that is interested in building such a robust off grid system? Oh, you talked mostly about energy and water, but what about food?
kcindric··on Off the Grid
Oh man, this is a great writeup! I really like your practical approach instead of a proof of concept that most off grid endeavors try to be. Do you maybe have a blog or pictures of your setup?
